ANNUAL REPORT2016-2017

USF Muma College of Business

I am proud to present this 2016-17 annual report. Each year the stories of accomplishments and points of pride of our students, faculty, staff, alumni, donors and corporate partners put on full dis-play their hard work and dedica-tion. We are delighted to be telling these awesome stories of people whose work makes us strong.

There is so much more here than just students sitting in class and professors teaching. We are creat-ing generations of critical business thinkers by challenging students and our faculty to go one step be-yond. By doing this, opportunities are created, connecting classroom work with real life experiences and making research relevant to the working business world. What we are passing along to the next generations is important both in their careers and in their personal lives. Our students end up on the winning side of the equation, entering the workforce confident that what they have learned from their professors is on the cutting edge of their respective fields. That confidence in knowledge translates into satisfying salaries and meaningful, rewarding lives.

Our faculty is known around the state, the nation and the world as top-tier educators and researchers. Our professors are published in prestigious business journals and are involved in speaking engagements, either at academic institutions in the United States or in other countries. They all are gaining international attention for their scholarly contributions, and in turn, so is the Muma College of Business. We now have five Muma College of Business professors recognized by the esteemed Fulbright program. In January, Daniel Bradley was awarded a Core Fulbright scholarship that will allow him to travel to Lisbon, Portugal, for several months where he will deliver lectures and present his research at a university there. In February, Jerry Koehler traveled to Belarus on a Core Fulbright grant. Later this year, Robert Hooker will head to Sweden to lecture, present to and collaborate with other scholars on a different Fulbright opportunity. Jim Stock spent time in Finland in the fall, and is heading back there later this year as part of his Core Fulbright award. This comes on the heels of Grandon Gill’s Fulbright award that took him to South Africa last year.

As the national academic rankings roll out year after year, more and more attention is being paid to the University of South Florida’s graduate business degrees, including the most recent designation of the part-time MBA program moving up in the rankings, landing at No. 56 in the nation among public universities. In March, the U.S. News and World Report ranked the part-time MBA program here in the top third of 360 schools nationwide, rising 10 places from the previous year and breaking into the top 100 for the first time. The part-time MBA program has steadily climbed in the rankings. In 2014, it was ranked No. 157 and it jumped 11 places the following year. In 2016, the pro-gram rose to 130 and then jumped 28 places to 92 in the most recent list. Our graduate program in entrepreneurship, under the leadership of Michael Fountain, was included in the top ten graduate programs in entrepreneurship in the nation as ranked Entrepreneur magazine and The Princeton Review, making it the best entrepreneurship program in the Southeast. We are in the top 100 business schools in North America, with the MIS research ranked in top 30 and the marketing research ranked in top 65 based on premier journal publications during the period 2014-2016, according to the University of Texas –Dallas Top 100 Business School Research Rankings.

The ranking recognition comes as we move ahead with plans to offer two new graduate programs with flexible schedules in hopes of enticing working professionals to re-enter the academic fold: An Executive Weekend MS in Business Analytics and Information Systems and an online MBA with sought-after concentrations. Certificate programs such as anti-money-laundering and cybersecurity and business analytics are catching the attention of many employers interested in recruiting graduates who are well versed in such cutting-edge busi-ness topics.

Part of our mission here is to connect our professors and students to the working business world. Our student internship program is robust and allows participants to get a taste of what it’s like in the marketing, finance, accounting and management information systems worlds. And we’ve started an externship program in which professors take time away from the classroom to work in businesses and corporations. This benefits the business, which gets – at no charge – someone who can use the latest research to solve problems; the professor, who is

Business EngagementGlobal Literacy and ImpactDistinctive Identity: Creativity and Analytics

Business is this one: We are seeing an increase in students who are the first in their families to go to college. More and more, those students are staying in school and graduating on time, thanks to our advisors and several new student success initiatives that began last year. We expect these numbers will continue to rise.

But there’s more. We launched the Muma Leadership Program, a two-year professional development effort that encourages students to take charge of their career development from their first days as business majors. And we are training faculty and staff for a new course that will help every student become a better presenter, negotiator, and salesperson. We are working with Sandler Systems, Inc. to help us prepare our instructors to give students the “best shot in the arm” in these areas.

A new undergraduate major in personal financial planning has been added, helping to fill an anticipated talent gap with bright, well-trained graduates who have the academic foundations as well as the soft skills needed to succeed.

A strong bond with our alumni is a big part of the success of our guest lecture program as well as the Homecoming Speaker Series and Parade Watch Party. We also invite alumni and other business leaders to our annual Celebration of Free Enterprise, which this year honored amazing entrepreneur and business leader Sheila Johnson. Through sponsorships and generous do-nations, we raised over $80,000 for scholarships and other student-focused programs during that event alone.

So, taken as a whole, the 2016-17 year here was marked by great strides, and we know that in the years to come, there is no limit to what we can accomplish.

MOEZ LIMAYEM, DEAN

rejuvenated with new experiences and new perspectives; and the students, who are presented with fresh classroom material based on recent, real-world challenges.

Such connections make it easier for us to bring in dis-tinguished speakers and lecturers who share valuable insights. Last year, we began our Conversation with a CEO series, featuring Jabil CEO Mark Mondello; Kenneth Feld, owner and CEO of Feld Entertainment; Bob Dutkowsky, the CEO of Tech Data; Dennis Adamovich, a USF graduate who now heads the College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta and Troy Taylor, CEO of Coca-Cola Beverages Florida. These events keep us connected with alumni and employers. And leaders are noticing the company we keep.

Other speaker series have landed some impressive folks as well: Kimberly Ross, a USF business graduate who has helped engineer acquisitions and mergers that involved billions of dollars; Rich Martino, another USF business school alumnus, now an executive with Mondelez Inter-national, perhaps the largest snack food manufacturer on the planet; Victor Poirier, who not only invented the first artificial heart, but he also marketed it; Tod Leiweke, COO of the National Football League; Don Garber, commissioner of Major League Soccer; and Microsoft Distinguished Engineer and General Manager Ron Kohavi. They all have come to speak to students, alumni and faculty about real-life experiences.

I would be remiss if I didn’t mention some of the donors who gave so much to the Muma College of Business this year. If you stopped by our atrium early in the spring semester, you may have noticed a construction zone. Thanks to Richard Corbett, president and CEO of Concorde Companies in Tampa and the developer of the upscale International Plaza, we have a state-of-the art digital wall on which we can simultaneously display several news and business channels as well as our own content. Across the top is a stock ticker for real-time movement of the stock market. We are forever indebted to him for his generosity.

The students in our Doctor of Business Administration program (who were crammed into small spaces) now can spread out, as Mohamad Ali Hasbini, himself a student, made a sizeable donation for the expansion and renovation of the space, now named the Mohamad Ali Hasbini DBA Suite. His gift was just in time: we have three full cohorts running – and our first class will graduate in the fall.

As you read through this report, you’ll see that the success of our students is always our first priority. This February, we hosted more than 50 freshmen, each of whom posted first semester grade-point averages of 3.75 or higher, to a special dinner and pep talk. The mantra was to keep the grades high and graduate in four years. They promised to do that.

And we’re tracking those promises. More and more of our students are graduating on time and our four- and six-year graduation rates are steadily improving.

Among the many bright spots at the Muma College of

DEVELOPMENT REPORT

▶ We began the year by awarding nearly $475,000 in scholarships to 200 of our best and brightest business students at the annual Scholarship Luncheon. That event, which now must be held in the Marshall Center ballroom, is a donor and faculty favorite as it reminds us of the impact that scholarships make on student lives. This year, student Arben Kabashi, a 30-year-old finance major and father of three shared his story of earning a GED, an associate’s degree degree from a community college, and, soon, a bachelor’s degree from USF – all within the space of four years.

▶ Our faculty and staff support the college through an annual giving campaign. This year, 95 percent of all USF Muma College of Business employees contributed to the campaign. The $155,000 raised by faculty and staff from the business school is significant and illustrates the level of commitment our employees have to this university, this college, and the students who choose to study here.

▶ Several donors made significant gifts for targeted projects. Among them, Blaylock Beal Van made a sizeable gift of software for our finance department; Geoff Simon and Andrea Graham, along with the Borrego and Essel foundations, donated toward a brand new personal financial planning program that will launch in the fall; Tyler and Stuart Lasher made a substantial gift to assist us in our mission; CBIZ MHM helps to support the Lynn Pippenger School of Accountancy and Dennis and Marnie Zank, who donated to the incredibly successful Corporate Mentor Program. Others who donated include Robert Carter, whose donation funds the Robert Carter Endowed Study Abroad Scholarship; Kim and Gil Gonzalez, who donated money for new furniture in our atrium; Kforce, whose gift sponsored our Celebration of Free Enterprise and in turn supports our student success initiatives; USAA, whose gift goes into a scholarship fund for veterans; T. Rowe Price, which donated to our 25 Under 25 program and Stanley and Susan Levy, whose gift also supports student scholarships.

▶ We launched the Executive Bulls Leadership Giving Program three years ago and membership has grown each year since then, with several founding members continuting to support the college year after year. Executive Bulls make annual unrestricted gifts of $10,000 or more to the Muma College of Business, supporting the dean’s strategic priorities for the college. This year, $220,000 was donated by these special friends of the college. Their donations supported the launch of the Center for Analytics and Creativity as well as several student-focused initiatives: scholarships for study abroad, case competitions, support for undergraduate and graduate student research, and a research colloquium. The 2016-2017 Executive Bulls are below:

The generous support of many of our alumni and friends has helped us continue our upward trajectory. It takes a lot of money to maintain the level of excellence we offer at the Muma College of Business. Space prevents us from recognizing every donor on this page, but we would be remiss if we did not highlight a few specific donors and development programs and opportunities.

▶ Friends and alumni continue to take notice of all we do here in the college. We closed out the academic year by dedicating our new digital wall in the atrium to donor Richard Corbett, president and CEO of Concorde Companies in Tampa and the developer of upscale International Plaza. The wall, which is comprised of 32 high-definition, flat screen, 55-inch monitors is so much more, of course, than a giant TV screen. This digital wall allows us to share a variety of information – everything from college news and events to donor recognition to important business and world news – in real time. Corbett said he donated the wall for one reason and one reason only: our students. We’ll be able to spotlight our best students and faculty, keep students informed of career preparedness events and other calendar items, and highlight the national leaders who come to speak at USF, too.

USF Strategic Goal 1: USF will produce well educated, highly skilled, global citizens through its continuing commitment to student success.

The Bulls Business Community, in partnership with USF Housing and Residential Education, is a thriving living-learning community and one of the strongest on campus. Since its inception in 2007, 613 students have been part of the BBC, including 101 who enrolled in the fall of 2016. Many of them call the program pivotal as they transition from timid high schooler to confident college student. This past year, many BBC events were held in collaboration with the Zimmerman Advertising Program’s living-learning community of students pursuing undergraduate business advertising degrees.

In the BBC, students take classes together and are provided with professional development opportunities designed to help them be job ready upon graduation. Etiquette dinners, company tours, résumé and interview preparedness presentations and access to high-profile alumni and business professionals in the Tampa Bay area are just a few of the benefits of this incredible community. Each year, students tour four corporations. During

the 2016-17 academic year, they toured Mondelez International in Orlando, and one of the students, Ryan Brautigam, left such an impression that he was offered and accepted an internship there.

Other tours included Lockheed Martin, Ashley Furniture and Citigroup, each offering glimpses into the business operations of big corporations and providing a better understanding of which careers require which degrees.

Beyond the work, the BBC students also do beach trips and videogame tournaments and host breakfasts where they can network with visiting professionals ranging from entrepreneurs to accountants to corporate executives.

It is no surprise that these students are among the best at USF. The BBC includes Provost Scholars, USF Ambassadors, USF Orientation Leaders and Green

and Gold Guides. During 2016-17, the average high school grade-point average for BBC residents was 3.92 and and the average SAT score

was 1,190.

BBC residents are all Bulls Business Network members and in 2016, students eligible for the BBN were able to choose to live in a second business living-learning community, the Zimmerman Advertising Program pod in Juniper-Poplar Hall.

ZAP residents get the best of business and mass communications. They take advertising courses

that are all taught by faculty in the Zimmerman School of Advertising & Mass Communications yet as business majors, they are able to

participate in many Muma College of Business programs.

Like the BBC, ZAP programming includes major-specific corporate tours. This year, ZAP residents toured Ashley Furniture, PP+K, ChappellRoberts, 22squared, Social Forces, and Zimmerman Advertising.

During the 2016-2017 year, 34 students lived in the ZAP LLC. The average high school

grade-point average for these students was 3.71 and their average SAT score was 1,150.

BULLS BUSINESS COMMUNITY

GOAL 1: STUDENT SUCCESS

ZAP

The Muma College of Business Undergraduate Advising Office is like Grand Central Station. It is one of the busiest places on campus with advisors helping first-time students navigate registration and assisting returning students with everything from permit requests to graduation checks. Advisors have conversations about majors and careers with students who are unsure of their degree options and guide those who would be better suited for a different degree program to a new home. The 13 advisors in the USF Muma College of Business have handled 10,719 individual advising appointments during the academic year (as of April 12).

The college’s emphasis on job preparedness and career goals requires undergraduate advisors to go beyond checking to make sure students have successfully completed the courses they need to fulfill requirements. During the prior academic year, several of USF’s business advisors completed the specialized Career Development Facilitator Certificate from the Center for Credentialing & Education. Specific topics included, among others, working with diverse students, ethical and legal issues related to career development, career assessments and career development models and theories.

The most notable initiative that began in the spring was the launch of the new case management system. Advisors, as well as key staff in areas on campus such as USF Financial Aid, USF Residence Life, USF Career Services, etc., are now able to refer students through this system to one of the participating care members in order to assist students with their concerns. The goal is to remove potential barriers to help every student succeed at the university.

UNDERGRADUATE ADVISING

BIZCOMM CENTERThe Business Communications Center, known to students as BizComm, held about 1,000 free one-on-one consultations during the 2016-17 academic year, helping undergraduate and graduate students improve their written communication skills in papers for business courses ranging from accounting and marketing to ethics and securities analysis. BizComm’s writing coaches also did a brisk trade helping students polish their résumés and cover letters for the job hunt, as well as essays for graduate school and university award programs.

Much of what happens in BizComm is behind the scenes: Our scholarship recipients get individualized training in the art of writing gracious thank-you letters and USF Muma College of Business faculty get free help editing research drafts for scholarly publications; an intensive summer workshop helps PhD students learn the fine points of writing readable research articles as they work toward becoming faculty themselves. Additionally, staff help with various projects for the college’s communications team.

BizComm By The Numbers:

Free, one-on-one consultations held during the 2016-17 academic year to improve the writing skills of students.

Student papers evaluated at faculty members’ requests.

Scholarship donors receiving thank-you letters polished by students working with BizComm staff.

Journal articles for Muma College of Business faculty and PhD students edited at no cost.

Workshops given on plagiarism, general writing skills and résumé/cover-letter writing.

CORPORATE MENTOR PROGRAM

1,246100%

For more than 25 years, the Corporate Mentor Program has prepared first-generation college students for success at USF and beyond. The program kicked off the 2016-17 academic year by announcing that banking giant Citi had contributed $25,000 to the program as well as 25 mentors to vol-unteer with the 123 business students who were part of the program. A check was presented at the program's kick-off breakfast in October, where Citi mentors and the students assigned to them were able to sit together and enjoy speeches from Moez Limayem, dean of the Muma College of Business, and keynote speaker Gregg Morton, Citi Tampa site president.

While Citi is arguably one of the program’s largest supporters this year, the program would not be so successful without the strong financial and volunteer support from companies such as Fifth Third Bank, T. Rowe Price, and Raymond James Financial. Raymond James, in particular, has been a long-standing supporter of the program, so it was fitting that the program’s closing dinner in April featured Raymond James COO - and long-time mentor for USF business students – Dennis Zank.

The program targets juniors and seniors, all the first in their families to attend college, who may not have had opportunities to shadow a parent in a professional workplace or attend networking events. Their mentors provide access to workplaces and corporate culture. Thanks to them, students learn about interviewing, corporate culture, networking, and how to become leaders in the corporate world.

BUSINESS HONORS PROGRAMThe USF Business Honors Program – the first in Florida – blends rigorous coursework and research activities with special housing, service, study abroad and applied learning opportunities found inside and outside of the classroom. It brings together distinct features including smaller classes, leadership training and outside-the-United States experiences. Students also get help finding summer internships and have opportunities to learn how to apply computational methods in business research. Those selected for this invitation-only program have SAT and ACT scores that far exceed general USF admission requirements.

These students do more than simply study. They have created a student organization, the Business Honors Service Association, and have used it as a vehicle to raise funds for local charities. Business Honors Program participants have volunteered countless hours in their community. They also have presented their research at the Muma College of Business Student Research Symposium and the Undergraduate Research Colloquium.

Business Honors Program students are national scholarship awardees, and participants who routinely represent the college at special events and ceremonies. They have participated in team- and leadership-building programs such as the Muma Leadership Program and have used these skills as mentors and role models at the university and college levels. This year, five of the 25 Under 25 honorees came from the Business Honors Program.

Graduates who participated in the program who had a job or acceptance to a graduate program at graduation.

In 2015, we rolled out the Muma Leadership Program by extending invitations for this two-year profes-sional development program to a small population. We expected that by its second year, this program would be expanded college-wide. Three students from that inaugural cohort are on track to finish by the end of the spring semester.

For juniors, the program offered 40 hours of professional development training to prepare them for the workforce. Students participated in activities such as business ethics seminars, presentation and personal selling modules and writing fundamental sessions. They also earned competency certification from Toastmasters International.

The second phase of the program, for seniors, culminates in the Muma Leadership Certificate. Students must attend a number of career and professional development programs and complete an internship and a business ethics project during their senior year. Additionally, students in the program are placed on an exclusive list that companies and the college use to offer internship and job opportunities.

The Student Managed Investment Fund offers motivated, well-prepared students the opportunity to participate in financial investment strategies to manage real money in real time.

One of the things that makes this experience so special: its advisory board. Comprised of seasoned practitioners, these advisors hold the students accountable for their work and motivate them to perform at a professional level well beyond that of the typical undergraduate. These industry professionals also share expertise and interact with the young scholars when analysts pitch their ideas for stock purchases. Leveraging this experience, students are able to land competitive internships and, later, job offers at top firms nationwide.

The 25 Under 25 program recognizes students who have excelled at the Muma College of Business. They are outstanding undergraduates who not only perform well academically but who also exemplify what it means to be a good citizen. They have volunteered or raised funds for non-profit organizations, and participated in humanitarian endeavors on campus and off.

It is through their example that other students are inspired to raise their level of academic excellence and find time to go out and do good deeds.

▶ Since the summer 2016 semester, 237 business majors participated in study abroad programs.

▶ Beginning last year, every department in the college was tasked with developing one or more study abroad courses that can be offered over the summer or during intersessions. Together, the USF Muma College of Business and the Lynn Pippenger School of Accountancy awarded $129,400 in study-abroad scholarships from private contributions. These included:

GLOBAL ENGAGEMENT

▶ USF in London ▶ USF in Exeter ▶ USF Florence in Business

▶ ISM in India ▶ ESAC in Prague ▶ Management in Panama

▶ UK Accounting ▶ Executive MBA in Singapore and Thailand

STUDENT ORGANIZATION COMPETITIONS ▶ USF’s Beta Alpha Psi chapter was awarded Superior Status - again - keeping USF’s streak of the longest running superior chapter worldwide

alive. Additionally, USF’s chapter was named a KPMG Gold Challenge chapter, a designation it has received every year since the award’s 2009 inception. Beta Alpha Psi also won first place at a “best practices” competition during the Southeast Regional Meeting.

▶ Accounting students were awarded second place in EY’s Inclusive Leadership Awards program.

▶ Sport MBA students placed second at the National Sports Forum in February in Minneapolis.

▶ The Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals Student Roundtable won two awards from the USF Center for Leadership and Civic Engagement. It received the Student Organization Program of the Year award and the Outstanding Student Organization Collaboration award.

▶ USF’s American Marketing Association was ranked in the top 25 chapters in North America. Its case competition team was a finalist in the case competition. And two individual students took home awards. Gabe Patil and Clayton Werner placed third in a marketing strategy competition hosted by Mary Kay.

▶ The study abroad program in London focused on business engagement and interaction in London. Marketing Instructor Carol Osborne and business students met the managing partners and key executives at most of London’s leading advertising agencies, including J. Walter

Thompson, Mindshare, SapientNitro, Wieden+Kennedy, Mother London, and amvBBDO. Students also visited sites such as the Tower of London, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace and Parliament.

▶ Executive MBA students traveled to Bangkok and Singapore. The trip included a visit to the U.S. Embassy in Bangkok with a briefing about Thailand’s economic landscape from a U.S. commercial services officer. Multi-national firms, such as Jabil, Yara, Fidelity Information Services, Citi, PwC, and SEC of Thailand, hosted students and discussed international business practices and challenges. The students also enjoyed several cultural explorations, including trips to the Royal Grand Palace, the Temple of Emerald Buddha, a Singapore Port tour, the Botanical Garden and lunch with a USF alumnus who owns a “halal” restaurant in Singapore.

▶ A Principles of Management course was delivered in both Panama and America. USF students began the experience in Panama, spending a week visiting different industry leaders to experience first-hand how organizations are managed in Panama.

The students returned to Tampa to complete the remaining three weeks of the course online. Through this hybrid class structure, students observed similarities and differences in how management is understood and executed.

▶ The Sport & Entertainment Management program is building several partnerships. In 2015, it hosted 15 international students and faculty from the University of Northampton (England); U.S. students will there in

2017 and to visit organizations in London, Southampton and Manchester. A return visit from a coalition of British universities is tentatively planned for 2018. Additionally, six international students – from Canada,

Costa Rica, England and the Czech Republic – are part of the 2018 cohort; the incoming class includes students from Russia, Brazil, Switzerland, Australia and Canada.

▶ The college signed a student exchange agreement with the University of Strasbourg, France.

▶ The agreement with Universidad San Ignacio De Loyola S.A. to offer USF business bachelor’s degrees in Lima, Peru, was renewed and we continued to offer students at the Universidad San Ignacio de Loyola in Lima, Peru, a chance to earn a general business degree with concentrations

in marketing and international business from USF without leaving Peru. Many of them, however, traveled to USF for their final semester. The sixth cohort began in the spring; the average cohort has 17 students.

▶ We hosted Executive MBA students from the Mediterranean School of Business in Tunisia. They visited several companies in Tampa, took a course in CRM and experienced a notable American culture by attending USF football and Tampa Bay Lightning games.

An important part of our job is to be the pipeline for employers seeking talent. We must do more than provide the technical knowl-edge expected of a degree program. We must be proactive, we must look ahead at what we perceive to be the needs of the future, and that’s where our internship and career readiness programs come into play. Business students are encouraged to participate in résumé building, interview skills and networking events including career fairs hosted by USF Career Services, as well as those coordinat-ed by the college’s Collier Student Success Center.

▶ Every department now offers an internship course, modeled after the highly successful Marketing Practicum. This year, 599 students participated in experiential learning programs such as co-ops, internships and overseas programs, of which 255 were enrolled in degree-applicable internship courses.

▶ Many students pursue internships without seeking degree credit. Given that research shows an 18-20 percent salary advantage for students who complete internships, we have increased our emphasis in this area, reaching out directly to students to educate them on this and other benefits of internships. This has included the promotion of employer information sessions and services such as résumé building, networking skills and interview techniques that both the Collier Student Success Center and USF Career Services have to offer. Classroom presentations on how to search for an internship using the Handshake system have been part of the market-ing campaign.

▶ As more students seek out internships, the college must reach out to new companies and employers for internship opportunities. Over the last year, we connected with 407 companies to launch or restart dormant internship programs. We have presented three different opportunities to employers:

1. Traditional Internship – paid, no academic credit.2. Academic Internship (course/practicum) – paid, academic credit. Students earn three credit hours and must qualify with 80

hours in business courses and a 2.75 minimum grade-point average.3. ISDS Practice Center – company grant for faculty supervision of interns, project-based.

▶ We worked with USF Career Services to capture the attention of companies and we are committed to developing long-term partnerships with companies for sponsorship

of student events, competitions and on-site experiential learning, while encouraging permanent job placement.

▶ Beyond internships, the Office of Employer Relations works to ensure that students are well prepared for the business career environment. It provided 567 in-formation sessions this year, one-on-one career advising sessions that include as-

sessment tests, résumé reviews tailored to specific job descriptions, academic major-potential career matching, interview preparation and connecting students directly with local and national employers. It also hosts employer information sessions and professional development workshops to help employers connect with potential new hires.

▶ A new central database system, Handshake, was launched by USF Career Services this year, helping Collier Student Success Center personnel track company-posted jobs and internships. It also helped staff identify which companies were most interested

in business students throughout the state and nationally.

USF Strategic Goal 3: USF will provide a first-class higher education institution that drives the economic engine of Tampa Bay.

We will partner with businesses worldwide to seek and provide ideas, solutions and intellectualcapital. With strong business relationships, everyone wins: students, business and faculty.

▶ Business leaders are welcome and often visit the USF Muma College of Business. A Management Speaker Series brought in executives in management and human resources to speak to students at the undergraduate level. For graduate students, corporate executives participate in the Executive MBA Distinguished Speaker Series and in numerous courses, guest speakers help bring to life the lessons taught using knowledge about how concepts are implemented. And the Conversations with a CEO series brought top-level leaders from nationally respected Fortune 500 companies in to speak to alumni and targeted groups of graduate students. Logos of some of our most frequent partners are pictured on the adjacent page (this is not an exhaustive list).

▶ More than 200 students, faculty and Muma College of Business supporters attended the third annual Sport & Entertainment Analytics Conference this spring. The speakers came from around the nation and included some of the top names in data collection and analytics, such as keynote speaker Jessica Gelman, CEO of Kraft Analytics Group. Other speakers included Chris Camke, senior director of business strategy and analytics with the NHL’s Tampa Bay Lightning; Akshay Khanna, vice president of strategy with the NBA’s Philadelphia 76ers; and Kevin Kelley, a high school football coach whose use of data analytics has changed prep football strategy in Arkansas.

▶ The Sport & Entertainment Management program also brought in Tod Leiweke, COO of the National Football League, and Don Garber, commissioner of Major League Soccer, for an evening of insight into the world of big league sports.

▶ Students from several Florida universities and colleges converged on the Muma College of Business this year to compete in the Florida Intercollegiate Case Competition, in which students are presented an issue that is causing trouble at a business. They have less than 24 hours to examine the issue and come up with a solution. This March, the competition celebrated its 15th year and featured the current problem of “fake news” that was damaging a job-matching corporation in New York.

▶ Hundreds of accountants and accounting industry leaders attended USF’s Accounting Circle Conference. Accounting professionals are provided the opportunity to keep up-to-date on industry trends and receive continuing professional education credits, a requirement for the Certified Public Accountant designation. The conference also raises funds for scholarships and special programs for faculty, staff and students in the USF Lynn Pippenger School of Accountancy.

▶ Fintech sponsored the annual Fintech Business Plan Competition that offers students campus-wide a chance to launch businesses with $15,000 in venture capital. Judges for the competition included regional business executives, as well as USF leaders. Similarly, the Florida Blue Healthcare Innovation Pitch Competition and the Daveler Pitch Competition gave students from a variety of majors an opportunity to seek start-up funding for their entrepreneurial projects.

▶ The Florida Small Business Development Center at USF consists of certified business consultants who help existing and emerging businesses in the Tampa Bay region to grow and succeed. The center offers strategic market research, business and strategic planning, market and revenue growth strategy, capital access and loan packaging, financial analysis, accounting and financial literacy, feasibility analysis, international trade and government contracting. In 2016, the center provided 16,124 hours of consulting to 1,636 entrepreneurs and assisted in securing $2.8 million in capital formation and $23.3 million in government contracts for local businesses.

▶ The Center for Supply Chain Management and Sustainability works with corporations that represent the best practices in the supply chain industry. Some of the partners include CareerSource Tampa Bay, CSX, Disney, Masonite, Stellar Partners, Tech Data, Total Quality Logistics, Mosaic, Honeywell, Bloomin’ Brands and Port Tampa Bay. The center’s faculty includes five supply chain experts who are widely considered leading researchers in the field.

▶ The college was host to the inaugural Florida Business Analytics Forum, which more than 250 executives attended to listen to thought leaders in the data analytics industry. Ron Kohavi, general manager for Microsoft’s Analysis and Experimentation Team, was the keynote

BUSINESS ENGAGEMENT

GOAL 3: ECONOMIC IMPACT

GOAL 3: ECONOMIC IMPACTspeaker along with several others who took the stage to talk about how big data can move bottom lines of businesses big and small. Sponsored by the SunTrust Foundation, the forum is expected to become an annual event.

▶ Two professors have taken time off to work in the real business world as part of a new externship program launched this year. It was a chance for the academics to apply their research to actual business scenarios and bring back to class for the benefit of their students, relevant, fresh material. During the fall semester, Michael Mondello spent time working in the front office of the Tampa Bay Rays and Don Berndt headed to Washington, D.C., in April to share his research with the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Financial Research.

▶ The college was host to four case competitions since July 2016. In the fall, an undergraduate competition involving Freedman Office Furniture and Supplies took place, along with a graduate case competition that examined the Tampa Riverwalk. In the spring, we hosted two events, the Florida Intercollegiate Case Competition for graduate students with JobDiva.com and the undergraduate competition with Phase Three Star. A total of 54 USF students participated in those competitions.

▶ The sea on which global commerce sails is no longer calm. Political divisions and economic differences are churning up those waters and the course set by international companies and traders is now beset by hurricanes and typhoons. That’s why we were pleased to host the International Business Symposium 2017: Charting a Winning Course in the Uncertain Waters of Global Commerce in April. The topic proved timely, as just hours earlier, President Donald Trump tweeted that he was considering abandoning plans to scrap NAFTA, opting rather to renegotiate it.

USF Strategic Goal 4: USF will ensure sound financial management to establish a strong and sustainable economic base in support of USF’s continued academic advancements.

▶ Two executive education programs have been conducted with Jabil and more are in process.

▶ Twenty practice center projects have been conducted this year, bringing in additional revenue to support faculty as they help small groups of students with these special learning opportunities. The revenue also supports students as they receive scholarships or stipends as they work on these projects alongside faculty.

▶ The third cohort for the Doctorate of Business Administration enrolled in January with 27 students. As a result, we currently have all three cohorts on campus, and will graduate the first cohort of 22 students in December.

▶ A new shared services model that centralized five administrative functions was successfully implemented in July of 2016. The five centralized services provided by the USF Muma College of Business Financial Management include human resources, purchasing, P-cards, travel, and USF Foundation check requests. An improvement team comprised of faculty and staff meet on a regular basis to help evaluate the success of the transition and make recommendations for continuous improvement in terms of efficiency, effectiveness and staff morale. As the end of the year approaches, the customer service satisfaction survey is being distributed to determine first year performance and areas for growth.

▶ By centralizing these activities and creating subject matter experts, we have been able to automate processes and track productivity. Offer letters and appointment status forms are created with a click of a button in our transactional database.
